Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

This is a GM manual that covers all 1984 friebird models as well as trans am's. It DOES NOT cover any other years and it also DOES NOT have any references in it about camaro's. It covers pretty much everything right down to electrical diagrams, body, injection systems, carbs,trans, engines, suspension. pretty much every possible thing.

I got rid of my 84 and not much is original to my 82 anymore. So figured one of you guys with a 84 firebird could make use of it. No pages are missing just the front and back covers are torn off.

whoever wants it has to pay for mailing it is all.

Considering I just swapped in a V8 interior harness into my old V6 car (LT1 now) I'm bound to run into lots of problems and I really don't want to dish out $100 for a manual one... lol

Those are great books to have. I got one for my 87 a while back. About 2" thick.

And yes, my camera flash sucks! I can't turn off the flash.

That's the same one that I found in my glove compartment when I bought my 87.

Service Manual or Owners Manual? They look the same...

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

service manual, I've got it around her somewhere. I've got the owners manual too. I bought the car off the original owner. he actually had a firebird/trans am for each generation. I had the car for a couple weeks then decided to get the RPO sticker(which was gone already) and opened the glove box and that was there. I asked the guy about it and he said he bought it from the local library.

Yes the manual is still available.

To clarify. No this is not the owners manual. This is sorta like the second picture posted.

No it is not a chilton manual LOL

This is a Genuine GM service manual and here are chapters that are in it

General information
heating and air conditioning
frame and bumpers
steering/suspension/wheels and tires
final drive
brakes
engine (all motors covered)
transmission (all trans covered)
chassis electriical
accesories

All pages are perfectly scanable and no pages are torn.... just the front and back coveres are torn off is all .. I got the book way back when when my 84 trans am was brand new from a service writer.

Rather it go to someone who will scan it all since theres more then one party interested in it.

I'll do it, I don't mind may take some time though Or J dezzy can do it also as I read.

Edit:

As J dezzy has an 84 I'll give him first dibs on the manual.

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

I would definatly scan it and put it into a .pdf document for everyone who wants it. I bet they'd even post it on the board if I submitted it.

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

I can get you the money for shipping if you're still lookin to pass it on...

PM me your address and you are positive you can scan it and all for these other guys.

I should be able to send it not this weekend but the following weekend.

hgffrank

maybe a list should be started of who wants a copy???

I know I'd like to have a copy since pretty much everything in it would apply to my 83 Trans Am. All I have now is my crappy Haynes and access to Mitchell which leaves a lot to be desired.

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

PM sent. and don't worry guys I'll get it scanned for everyone ASAP.

EDIT: Once I scan it I'll send it to all you guys in this thread that want it. I'm going to put it into a .PDF document so it's not just a bunch of pictures.

Chellemo

Hey! I just bought a 84 Firebird. Can I get in on this?

liv2ryde

I would really like to have a copy of that document also! I have an 84 Firebird and a Chilton but I am sure this manual you are copying is much better! Thanks

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

Once I get it it should only take me a couple weeks or so to get it scanned into my computer. then I'll put it into a .pdf document and get it to all of you guys that mentioned in this thread that you wanted it. I think he'll be sending it this coming weekend.

Just wanted to update this today.

I sent Jdezzy the manual this afternoon so he should have it like saturday or monday. Sorry it took so long guys had alot of things going on and spending time with my son.

Anyways good luck scanning it Jaime, there is alot of pages to it LOL & I hope it helps a few of you guys out.

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

havn't been online in a little while becuase I moved and I still have to have my internet reconnected, but I did recieve the manual 2 days ago and will start scanning it this weekend sometime. I'll let you all know when it's finished.

hgffrank

Can we get an update on progress, its been over a month

Jproz1167

iTrader: (3)

Guess he never came through for you guys huh ???? I even paid for shipping to send it to him ... probably should have given it to someone else ....

hgffrank

Yeah, I hate people who bullshnit like that. Makes it hard to trust anyone. Too bad I didnt see the thread when it was first opened, I have everything needed to create a pdf ebook. Too bad it went to him. No excuse in the world could cover 2 1/2 months.

If by some miracle the book ever shows up, I'd be more than happy to get it done. Kinda looks like that guy just said a bunch of bs to get it with no actual intention of doing anything.

Jproz1167

iTrader: (3)

I will IM him this week and see why he didn't do anything ...

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

hey hey hey. I didn't bullshit anyone. I'm still working on it. some **** came up that pushed scanning the book to the back of the list of stuff to do. again, I'm sorry it's taking so long.

Jproz1167

iTrader: (3)

Then why don't you give it to someone that can scan it. That was the deal I made to you in exchange for the free manual, I didn't even charge you shipping ....

The are a few guys who want the info this book has and you led them to believe you could do what you said you would now they got left high and dry. I'm sure someone who has the time to scan it will pay shipping.

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

I'm not leaving any high and dry. I'm still scanning it. It's jsut taking longer. sorry if everyone thinks I'm a lying *****...but I'm not. and I'm insulted by the way everyone was talking about me without even asking me what was going on. and just to let you know, some of the BS on my plate right now is I'm fighting for custody of my daughter...for anyone who has seen, or gone through that process, it's a bitch and takes up a lot of my time. I'm working on the book, it will get done.

dsudzina

Hi, I have an 83 and was wondering if the pdf file was ever completed. I need a copy.

hgffrank

I wouldnt waste my time waiting for this guy, he never posted it here and probably never will. If he had so much on his plate as was his excuse then he should have never taken the book in the first place....oh well its gone now...interesting that he has plenty of time to post all the time yet no time to get it done and post the pdf as promised....apparently his word isnt worth anything....

j dezzy

iTrader: (12)

My word is worth plenty, just check my itrader. I forgot all about making that damn pdf file because of all the **** people were giving me for taking too long. that book is now sitting in a closet in my house and half scanned. if you look back through my posts i have only started posting again recently. there was almost 3 years there where i didnt. Ill dig it out and finish it up

It's only about a thousand pages to scan. Shouldn't take THAT long.

Actually, since the GM Service Manuals are copywrited material, and they're still available and in print, it's a bit silly to expect someone to scan, edit, and upload that material for public use. It'd be nice, but probably also illegal.

On the other hand, there are a ton of used Service Manuals out there. It's not hard to find a cosmetically rough manual for $20-40, and if you look a bit you can usually find nice copies. If nothing else they can still be had new from www.helminc.com

People need to stop being cheap. If you want a real manual just buy one.

hardon85

I agree, this sounded like a good idea but they are still making these books so I don't think this would be a good idea. Although to be fair you should at least pay the guy for shipping at least that was all he wanted. Anyway good intentions but it would be illegal. I have one of these and the info is great so if you guys just want one go buy one on the other hand if you don't want to pay for one this site would be the next best thing it will just take a little longer to find the info but I'm sure it's here. So to j dezzy do the right thing unless you already have.
